Cornell University, along with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (ARS), has begun construction on a new grape research facility at Cornell AgriTech. Senate Majority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer played a key role in securing federal funds for the project. This collaboration aims to address agricultural issues faced by farmers, producers, and consumers across the country. The new 70,000-square-foot National Grape Improvement Center will host the ARS Grape Genetics Research Unit, the ARS Plant Genetic Resources Unit, and four research projects focused on grapevines by Cornell University.
